Stay classy, Ed Whelan

We just pointed out in response to Ed Whelan's comments about Elena Kagan that military veterans at Harvard Law School strongly criticized the notion that Kagan was anti-military. But we need to highlight one other line in Whelan's post . Whelan writes of Kagan's decision to allow the military full recruiting access despite her opposition to "Don't Ask Don't Tell": "But, as George Bernard Shaw would have said to Kagan for selling out her supposedly deeply held principles, 'We've already established what you are, ma'am. Now we're just haggling over the price.' "

Stay classy.

Update: Immediately after the portion I quoted, Whelan states "(My point isn't that Kagan deserves the Bernard Shaw slam--she doesn't--but rather that she evidently doesn't believe her own rhetoric.)"
